  • No. This is a carefully curated, well-loved collection. Sometimes, we get a better version of a viewer and end up with “extras.” These are typically only traded among our other collector friends, though.

  • Check eBay, Etsy, the online Goodwill shop, or your local classified listings. Usually people ask this because they’ve come across some family vacation or wedding slides that have been packed away in their attic, basement, or garage for years. Their hopes are up for taking a 3D stroll back in time, only to find the viewer doesn’t work. If that’s you and you aren’t able to find a viewer, you can get the slides scanned. We can suggest Studio 3D for that service.

  • No. We don’t repair or restore 3D viewers but we know a guy who might be able to help you.

  • Probably not. We love our battery-operated viewers but they are not a specialty area for us and we don’t spend a lot of time with them (opening them, changing bulbs, reading the manuals, etc). If we didn’t post a photo of the manual on the viewer page, we probably don’t have it and can’t identify the type of bulb for you. You can try reaching out to Dr. T - he may be able to help you.

  • No. We don’t sell parts (including light bulbs) for 3D viewers. We recommend searching eBay for “stereo viewer light bulb” and seeing what comes up. You can also try reaching out to Dr. T — he may be able to help you.

  • Maybe. We like to be helpful but we don’t always have time for requests like this. But go ahead and contact us. You might catch us with some free time!

  • Maybe. Whatcha got? Contact us. But please make sure it’s 3D-related and not already on our website. And it will help if you provide some backstory on where you got it.
